Ada's Joan Garety didn’t hit the ball as well as she would have liked, but she made putts and won the Golf Association of Michigan Women’s Senior Championship on Tuesday.

Garety, a 10-time City champion and two-time Michigan Women’s Amateur winner, shot rounds of 80 and 76 for a 156 total on the Mountain Ridge course at Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville. She topped runner-up Sue Campbell of Kalamazoo (161) for the overall title.

Linda Brandt of Flushing was the handicap net winner. She had a 170 actual total for a net 148.

Garety, who is in the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame, said familiarity of the greens helped. She has played the Michigan Women’s Open at the resort in recent years.

"There are some greens here that appear to break in odd ways until you’ve played it a few times," she said in news release from the GAM. "It was helpful to know flat out how the greens were going to react."
